I’m going to listen to the top 3 upvoted albums and give you my honest unfiltered thoughts.
Please explain what makes the album special to you. For context, lyrics are very important to me, so I gravitate to music with good storytelling.
Alright! Results are in. I’ll be listening to:
- Lateralus - Tool
- To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
- Pink Moon - Nick Drake
- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins
(I know I said 3, but I couldn’t resist!)
I used to listen to it and enjoy it when I was in high school. And since then my tastes in music matured a lot, as I’m not into punk rock that much anymore. But this particular album I always come back to: it is a high-octane gem, every song is special in its own way and none of them seem banal or predictable.
The lyrics, mostly satyrical, strike a good balance between meaningfulness and straigh fun, between anger and cheer
